"Very strong margins in our 2nd quarter contributed to the strong overall margin performance for the 1st six months of this fiscal year which is the result of both changes in product mix and the benefits of our focus on lean initiatives," stated Tim Sopko, CEO. He further commented, "While sales to our Aerospace/Defense customers returned to expected levels in the 2nd quarter, sales to our Construction customers are being impacted by delays on some larger projects here in the US with tariffs negatively impacting export sales." He concluded, "Our focus on Lean continues and is expected to help us take advantage of the opportunities resulting from the robust US economy as we enter the second half of our fiscal year."
The company's firm order backlog is $17,100,000 at the end of the 1st six months as compared to $13,300,000 at the beginning of the fiscal year.
